New delhi date. 5 November 2020, Saturday

The foundation stone of the new Parliament House in Delhi will be laid by PM Modi on December 10.

The present Parliament House is very old and getting smaller. That is why the Central Government is giving the reason for the need for a new Parliament Complex. Some Leader of the Opposition will also be invited to the Bhumi Pujan program. Will be a part of the project. The project will include construction of Parliament House as well as removal of existing offices and residences on both sides of the three kilometer long highway from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate and construction of Joint Central Secretariat and other buildings.

The new Parliament House will be constructed at a cost of Rs 850 crore. A new Parliament building will also be constructed where the Parliament House premises are now. Its construction is planned to be completed by 2022. The government may have a new Parliament this year to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the country's independence. Will sit in the building and celebrate.

The new parliament building will be spread over 65000 square meters. The design of the three-storey building will be such that it looks like three colored rays when viewed from the sky. The new parliament building will have 900 seats so that it does not matter if the number of MPs increases in future.

The new building will also have a constitutional hall in which the history of democracy in India will be presented. There will also be facilities like lounge, library, room for various committees, canteen, vehicle parking for the members of parliament. The design of the new parliament has been prepared by Gujarati architect from Ahmedabad.

Construction of the present Parliament House began in 1921 at a cost of Rs. 83 lakhs.
